Kardashian divorce trial set for May

Despite repeated attempts from Kris Hunmprhies' lawyers to keep him legally married to Kim Kardashian, the judge overseeing the divorce has finally set a date, TMZ reported.

Kardashian's lawyer, Laura Wasser was hoping they'd be able to begin the trial next month, but the court has set the date for May as it was the first available time.

According to TMZ, Humpries' lawyer tried, once again, to delay the trial date, but was unsuccessful .

Earlier today it was reported that Marshall Waller, one of Humpries' lawyers, left the case yesterday citing "irremediable breakdown of the attorney-client relationship." TMZ's sources say the lawyer bailed on the basketball star because he did not think they could get the annulment Humpries so desperately wants since there is no proof of fraud.
